What (usually) happens after IMMAP

The following conversation takes place on the Monday after IMMAP.

Marketing Manager (MM): “Sir I’m back from IMMAP!”

CEO: “That’s good. What did you learn?”

CEO: “What?! We can’t do those. Regional will kill me. And besides we don’t have time. Let’s just do online ads.”

MM: “K.”
